She’s sailing away from her troubles.
After enduring a double mastectomy, not to mention the loss of both parents to cancer in their 60s, Angela Linderman found herself thinking a lot about longevity — and how nothing is guaranteed.
And so, the 38 year-old did something many people push back into their golden years — she took a cruise. A 274-day cruise to be exact.

Linderman, from the Pacific Northwest, flew to Miami earlier this month and hopped aboard Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas. She won’t be back on dry land for good until late 2024.
The bold step came after a wave of harsh life lessons a few years back, beginning when her father was diagnosed with prostate cancer, followed by her mother’s breast cancer diagnosis. Both died at the age of 65.
